Enabling ApMon

by Brian Bockelman last modified 2006-05-23 10:44

Once a MonaLisa service has been set up, in order to be able to insert ad-hoc data, one needs to enable the "ApMon" module. This document describes the necessary steps.

Enabling the apmon module should be a short and simple change.  If you have installed MonaLisa through the VDT, open the vdtFarm.conf file found here:
$MonaLisa_HOME/Service/VDTFarm/vdtFarm.conf
Add the following line to the file:
^monXDRUDP{ParamTimeout=3600,NodeTimeout=3600,ClusterTimeout=3600,ListenPort=58884,AppendIPToNodeName=true}%20
This will set your service to listen for ApMon packets at port 58884.  Change this as desired.  Others might want to set AppendIPToNodeName=False.  I don't really care for the IP on the node names. 

Now, as root, restart the MonaLisa service, and you should be ready:
/etc/init.d/MLD restart
It is always a good idea to test things out.  Try sending ApMon packets with the mlmetric tool.
